Inositol is a vitamin-like substance. It is found in many plants and animals. It is produced by the human body from glucose, it is not an essential nutrient. Inositol and some of its mono- and polyphosphates function as the basis for a number of signaling and secondary messenger molecules. Inositol is used for diabetic nerve pain, panic disorder, high cholesterol, insomnia, cancer, depression, schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s disease, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism, promoting hair growth, a skin disorder called psoriasis, and treating side effects of medical treatment with lithium. Inositol is also used by mouth for treating conditions associated with polycystic ovary syndrome, including failure to ovulate; high blood pressure; high triglycerides; and high levels of testosterone. Inositol is possibly safe for most adults. It can cause nausea, tiredness, headache, and dizziness.

Sulfamethazine is a sulfonamide used to treat a variety of bacterial diseases in animals. It inhibits bacterial synthesis of dihydrofolic acid by competing with para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) for binding to dihydropteroate synthetase (dihydrofolate synthetase).

Trimethadione (brand name is TRIDIONE) is an oxazolidinedione compound that was developed as an antiepileptic agent for control of petit mal seizures that are refractory to treatment with other drugs. Tridione does not modify the maximal seizure pattern in patients undergoing electroconvulsive therapy and has a sedative effect that may increase to the point of ataxia when excessive doses are used. Trimethadione acts as a voltage-activated T-type Ca2+ channel blocker. Trimethadione is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. It is demethylated by liver microsomes to the active metabolite, dimethadione. Approximately 3% of a daily dose of tridione is recovered in the urine as the unchanged drug. The majority of trimethadione is excreted slowly by the kidney in the form of dimethadione.

Dicumarol is an coumarin-like compound found in sweet clover. It is used as oral anticoagulant and acts by inhibiting the hepatic synthesis of vitamin K-dependent coagulation factors (prothrombin and factors VII, IX, and X). It results in decresed prothrombin levels and a decrease in the amount of thrombin generated and bound to fibrin. This reduces the thrombogenicity of clots. Dicumarol is also used in biochemical experiments as an inhibitor of reductases.

AMINOBENZOATE SODIUM is a salt of Aminobenzoic acid. Aminobenzoic acid is an intermediate in the synthesis of folate by bacteria, plants, and fungi. Many bacteria, including those found in the human intestinal tract such as E. coli, generate Aminobenzoic acid from chorismate by the combined action of the enzymes 4-amino-4-deoxychorismate synthase and 4-amino-4-deoxychorismate lyase. Plants produce Aminobenzoic acid in their chloroplasts, and store it as a glucose ester (pABA-Glc) in their tissues. Humans lack the enzymes to convert Aminobenzoic acid to folate, so require folate from dietary sources such as green leafy vegetables. In humans, Aminobenzoic acid is considered nonessential and, although it has been referred to historically as "vitamin Bx", is no longer recognized as a vitamin, because most people have colon bacteria that generate Aminobenzoic acid. The potassium salt is used as a drug against fibrotic skin disorders, such as Peyronie's disease, under the trade name Potaba.

Menadiol is one of the forms of vitamin K4. Chemically, it is closely related to menadione. Oral menadiol appears to be an effectiv ealternative to intravenous phytomenadione in the correction of coagulopathies associated with obstructiveliver disease. This simplifies the care of patients with deranged clotting times requiring cholangeopancrea-tography, particularly those to be managed as out-patients. Menadiol should receive clinical testing as a chemosensitizing agent in human lymphatic neoplasms (HLN). This effect occurred at a concentration (2.0 micrograms/ml; 4.7 microM) of menadiol which is probably clinically achievable and which did not deplete intracellular glutathione.

Dihydrotachysterol (DHT) is a synthetic vitamin D analog activated in the liver that does not require renal hydroxylation like vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) and vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). Dihydrotachysterol is used to treat hypocalcemia, hypoparathyroidism, and prevention of tetany. Dihydrotachysterol is hydroxylated in the liver to 25-hydroxy-dihydrotachysterol, which is the major circulating active form of the drug. Once hydroxylated to 25-hydroxy-dihydrotachysterol, the modified drug binds to the vitamin D receptor. The bound form of the vitamin D receptor serves as a transcriptional regulator of bone matrix proteins, inducing the expression of osteocalcin and suppressing synthesis of type I collagen. Dihydrotachysterol also increases renal phosphate excretion.

Menadione, a drug belong to class of Vitamin K, is prescribed for the treatment of hemorrhage, vitamin K deficiency, moderate to severe forms of hypoprothrombinaemia in adults and children. Menadione is a synthetic form of vitamin K, a lipid-soluble vitamin. Vitamin K is a vital cofactor for the biosynthesis of prothrombin, factor VII, IX, X, protein C and protein S. Menadione supports the functions of osteocalcin. Large doses of menadione have been reported to cause adverse outcomes including hemolytic anemia due to glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, neonatal brain or liver damage, or neonatal death in some rare cases.

Adrenalone is a keton form of the natural substrate epinephrine. Adrenalone is evidently formed in vivo by hydrolytic cleavage of the diester by esterases. It is an adrenergic receptor agonist. Adrenalone inhibits the norepinephrine synthesis and dopamine beta oxidase. It is known to have very weak sympathomimetic activity when compared to adrenaline. Adrenalone has the high radioprotective effect. It is a topical nasal decongestant. Adrenalone has hemostatic, sympathomimetic and vasoconstrictor therapeutic functions.
